Enable the Group Policy Editor on Windows Home editions with the help of a simple installer, or choose the enabler to tweak the default system's settings. #Enable Group Policy Editor #Enable gpedit.msc #Gpedit.msc downloader #Group Policy Editor #Gpedit #Policy Editor
Unlike the Pro edition, the Home edition of Windows has the Local Group Policy Editor disabled by default, along with other features that Microsoft decided to leave out. Power users might want to enable the gpedit.msc feature to get better control over their computer's settings without having to upgrade to Windows Pro, but this is no easy task. Fortunately, solutions can be found.
A simple tweak is provided by the Group Policy Editor for Windows 10 Home Edition, which deploys the gpedit.msc file. On a system with a 32-bit architecture, the setup process should run smoothly and soon enough the Group Policy Editor should appear on screen when typing 'gpedit.msc' in the Run window. Users of 64-bit architectures must take one additional step before installing the tweak, namely to copy gpedit.msc and the "GroupPolicy" and "GroupPolicyUsers" folders from C:\Windows\SysWOW64 folder to C:\Windows\System32. After that, they just have to start the installer and wait for it to finish its job.
In case the installer fails to work properly and the Group Policy Editor still cannot be accessed on the Windows Home PC, then users can download and run the so-called enabler. Note that administrative privileges are required. This batch file is a system tweak that deploys missing features in Windows Home. Normally, a system restart is not mandatory but, if the Group Policy Editor is still unavailable, it is recommended you try rebooting before anything else.
Please note that, although the tweak worked during our tests, it is no guaranteed that it will work on your system.
